SNX 2024 is the place to be for some serious snacking business. Taking place in Dallas this week, the SNAC International gathering brings together snack makers and suppliers from across the country (and around the world) for learning opportunities, networking sessions, and more business-building activities. According to organizers, the intent is to encourage dialogue, spark innovation, foster growth, and bring together snack industry professionals from across the supply chain to grow deeper relationships.
However, that doesn’t mean there isn’t time to mix business with fun. The Flavor Showdown competition pits some of the industry’s top flavor and seasoning suppliers against each other. This year, in honor of the Longhorn State location of the event, participants were invited to work on a savory Texas-inspired flavor to enter into the contest. This week, SNX attendees will get to visit the Flavor Zone on the show floor to sample the entries, weigh in on their choice for the best of the best, and then watch as the winner is announced at the closing event.
